PPT2000: Sample Code to Apply Small Caps Formatting to Selection
This article was previously published under Q222729
This article contains a sample Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
macro (Sub procedure) that formats the lowercase letters in a selection as
small capital letters and reduces their size to about eighty percent of
their original point size. Small capital letters (small caps) formatting
does not affect uppercase letters, punctuation, or non-alphabetic
characters.
NOTE: For this macro to work, a text box border must be selected. The border will appear dotted if selected properly.

Sample Visual Basic Procedure
Sub SetSmallCaps()
' Used to trap errors.
On Error Resume Next
Err.Clear
' Dimension the variables.
Dim oTextRange As TextRange
Dim oWordRange As TextRange
Dim lNewFontSize As Long
Dim i As Long
' Get reference to the selected text.
Set oTextRange = ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange
' See whether error occurred getting text selection.
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Cannot apply Small Caps to selection. Please select " _
& "some text and run the macro again.", vbExclamation, _
"Invalid Selection"
' Stop the macro.
End
End If
' Loop through the words in the selection.
For i = 1 To oTextRange.Paragraphs.Words.count
' Get a reference to the first word in the selection.
Set oWordRange = oTextRange.Paragraphs.Words(i, 1)
' With oWordRange.Paragraphs.Characters(1, 1)
With oWordRange.Characters(1, 1)
' Set the first letter to be upper case.
.ChangeCase ppCaseUpper
' Calculate the new font size.
lNewFontSize = ((.font.Size) / 1.3)
End With
' Change the remaining characters to the new font size.
With oWordRange
.Characters(2, (oWordRange.Length)).font.Size = lNewFontSize
.Characters(2, (oWordRange.Length)).ChangeCase ppCaseUpper
End With
Next i
End Sub

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
